Hi Diane .. an umbrella works wonders .. if you want a bit of shade on whatever you are taking a photo of .. I have a golf umbrella that is really handy ... and covers a bigger area ... Good macro but must agree that it is blown out a bit .. Not sure what kind of a editing program that you are using .. but in some of them you could try to correct it a bit ..
Cheers
Else
